I have a problem with people that take a nice greeting and make it into something bad. That right there made me know I'd never read this book or give any credit to the other 4.

Really? Somebody asking for a drink you don't happen to like makes you want to "punch people in the face"? Get a grip, loser. You push hot water through beans for a living.

With the economy in the can you should be glad you have a damn job. Shove the attitude and serve the coffee. Barista is a nice word for coffee serving. You better get a grip and learn you are not a rocket scientist before the clue train comes by and drops you off.
